Description

Red Dust (MGM, 1932). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style D.
A fabulous stone litho one sheet for Jean Harlow and Clark Gable's
"hottest" pre-Code film (they made six films together) is offered
in this lot. Gable is a plantation owner in Indochina who has a
torrid affair with Harlow. Yet complications arise when Gene
Raymond and wife Mary Astor arrive and Gable becomes romantically
involved with Astor. Dialogue filled with sexual innuendo and a
fiery chemistry between the stars made this one of MGM's biggest
money-makers. This poster is highly sought after by collectors, and
this is one of only a few known to have surfaced. It had some
missing paper in the upper and middle left section, primarily along
the border. The poster has been expertly restored and now has a
wonderful appearance. Some fold lines were touched-up, as well.
Fine- on Linen.
